9 Days to go.....

[jj1978]

Ahhhh 9 more days to go till the ND?

Radio, newspapers, tv are starting to talk a little more about the draft. Supporters are getting edgy wondering whom their club will select.

I just wish it was the 25th today, wish I could just fast forward time and lose these 9 days.

How are we all feeling?

lol ... you're not seriously going to make a new thread everyday are you ?

 

[BlueBelle]

I am feeling confident we will take Gibbs

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

I'm getting nervous that we won't take Gibbs, and then there will be an uproar....

The club will take Gibbs... there is too much riding on it if they don't.

Don't stress AWG, Gibbs is a formality, picks 17 & 19 is what I'm most looking forward too, we have a real chance to have 3 quality midfielders come Nov 25....

Doesn't matter who we take AWG, we cant go wrong with the top 5 or 6 players. We get a gun which ever guy we pick. I would love Gibbs to be our pick but Hanson, Gumbleton or Leuenberger would be awesome to. If only they hadn't changed the priority pick rule, we could've had 2 of them.

Bring on 07 and more than 5 wins for a season!!

Gibbs was confirmed as #1 a while back. Just a formality now. The real interest is who we'll pick with #17 and #19 - that's the tricky bit. No doubt our recruiting department have done a heap of research, and have various contingencies mapped out. I thought last years recruitment of Bower and Edwards was excellent. I think the emphasis will be on midfielders, but the focus should be on the best available talent with these picks rather than on selecting for current team requirements. With the large number of draft and rookie picks this year, we're certain to unearth some impressive talent, even with the latter picks. Owing to necessity, our recruitment decisions have improved immensely in recent years. Just can't wait for 2007. A bit of payback needs to be and will be done. Great times ahead.

you need to get a life mate

Yeah I have a life, but being at work is boring the bejesus out of me, and the next week or so is just work work work and boring functions I wish not to attend but have to (family etc.).

Plus I'm curious how we'll go in the ND.

Looking forward to Bryce putting on the navy blue guernsey with the no.4 on the back on the 25th November.

Im guessing as soon as they draft bryce they'll get a navy guernsey on him quick smart.

I agree... Gibbs is a certainty for the club.

picks 17 and 19 will be much more interesting. Seeing who slips through to those picks and who we will take at that time.

I am also wondering if we are going to be taking any of our F/S boys in the draft or whether we will take any of them in the rookie draft. I think that young Sheldon has put off going into the draft until next year. Does anyone have any news on Tomi and Jake?

I would love to see all three of them wearing the old dark blue just like their fathers.

From what I can gather the word going around is that they rate Tomi ahead of Jake. I am hoping that we can pickup at least of them via a late pick/rookie draft

 

[BlueBelle]

The club confirmed a few weeks ago that they are not going to take either of them with F/S picks. I believe they may take one of them, if available, with a rookie pick.

Sheldon is holding off until next year which is good news for the Blues

Parrot, when was it confirmed? Have i missed something?

 

[Smokey_22]

Drafts are never confirmed until the name is called out on draft day.

 

[HBF]

Im guessing as soon as they draft bryce they'll get a navy guernsey on him quick smart.

And then we'll see all of those Adelaide morons (Gets!, ICDM, Cro-mo and a few others) completely break-down and cry uncontrolably right throughout the summer.

I'd like to see a close-up of the crows camp after wayne's first selection...
